Bottom line, if you're just looking for basic yard service of fertilizer and weed control, save yourself $500 by going to Home Depot/Lowes and buying a spreader, fertilizer and Spectrazide.
Maybe my expectations are too high. I've had real green for 2 years. I thought they were a one-stop shop. They come out like they are supposed to and spray. But it seems like they are more set on hitting a schedule than results. And they're services seem fragmented.
I have their basic lawn service. Well I have 3 shrubs in my yard that are clearly dying, one that is completely dead. The grass around the shrubs is completely dead as is half the yard. I had to call them to complain about the shape of my yard. The person had no notes on my account about any issues.
They sent out one guy for the grass and one for the shrubs. Of course I get a bunch of pamphlets after the visit with all these services I can buy. My grass was growing and shrubs were fine, I hired Real Green and now my lawn and shrubs are dying? And I had to call them!
They do a great job of getting rid of weeds and aerating, but you could do that for way cheaper and in minutes.
